TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of glass insulator detection, in particular to an optical measuring device, a measuring method and application thereof on glass insulators. BACKGROUND
[0002] The optical measuring device is mainly used for high-precision detection of surface defects of the insulator during the processing and sampling inspection of the glass insulator, to ensure product quality. The working principle is to irradiate the surface of the insulator by a stable light source, capture high-quality images by an imaging system, and automatically identify defects such as cracks, bubbles and scratches by combining with image processing software. During the detection process, the device can adopt multi-angle and multi-light-source imaging mode to comprehensively obtain the surface information of the insulator. After preprocessing, intelligent algorithms are used for defect analysis and judgment, so as to realize efficient and accurate defect identification. Since the optical detection has the advantages of non-contact, non-destructive and fast, the detection efficiency can be greatly improved, human errors can be reduced, and it is ensured that each insulator meets the quality standard. This technology is not only suitable for the detection of single insulator, but also can detect the whole insulator string, to meet the needs of batch production. Through automatic image analysis, the accurate positioning and classification of defects can be realized, to provide reliable basis for quality traceability in the production process. As disclosed in a kind of glass insulator glass piece crack detection method and system of announcement number for CN109187551B, including determining the distance of CCD camera and the glass piece of the glass insulator to be measured;First CCD camera shoots the position data of the multiple frame overhead image of the glass insulator to be measured and synthesizes the overhead image of the glass insulator to be measured, determines the gray scale of overhead image;Determine whether the glass insulator to be measured exists crack according to overhead image;Second CCD camera shoots the position data of the multiple frame overhead image of the glass insulator to be measured and synthesizes the side view image of the glass insulator to be measured, determines the gray scale of side view image, which uses the principle that polarized light crosses glass crack and causes refraction to carry out glass crack detection, and cooperates with multi-angle all-around light source distribution and image acquisition, however the above technical scheme mainly relies on the relative position and angle of view of camera and measured object when measuring glass insulator string with certain length, single camera is usually arranged at one side of insulator string to ensure that clear, complete surface image can be obtained, this arrangement can more conveniently capture the main surface information of insulator string in actual operation, but at the same time, it also brings significant limitations, the main reason is that the geometric structure of insulator string determines that its surface has multiple peripheral surfaces, including front surface, back surface and side surface etc., due to the angle of view limitation of optical imaging device, single camera is difficult to cover all peripheral surfaces simultaneously, and the reflection angle of curved glass to light source is variable, part of area (such as back light surface) presents dark area due to that reflected light cannot enter camera lens, leading to image information loss, especially those located in the back of camera sight or side surface deviates more area, in order to make up for the deficiency of single camera, it is usually necessary to increase the arrangement number of CCD camera, uses multiple point or multiple angle cameras to shoot insulator string from different directions simultaneously, but multiple camera system needs more hardware investment, including camera, light source, support and synchronous control system, which will significantly increase the overall investment cost, secondly, arranging multiple cameras puts forward higher requirements for space layout and optical debugging, i.e. the angle, focal length and illumination condition of each camera need to be accurately adjusted to ensure the clarity and consistency of image, which not only increases the complexity of debugging, but also leads to subsequent cumbersome use, maintenance and adjustment of device.
